Many people like to extract music from videos to make their own iPhone ringtones. I remember there was a time when my ringtone was He-Man's well-known catchphrase - "By the Power of Greyskull - I HAVE THE POWER!", and even some classic lines and ghost screams in movies and TV shows. You know what, every time it sounds, I immediately become the focus of attention. Sounds great, huh? If you want to experience it as well, I’ll show you 2 ways to change MP4 to M4R iPhone ringtone.
